With each passing minute at a packed Husky Soccer Stadium on Saturday night, it became evident that one goal would likely be enough to win the NCAA tournament match between Washington and Seattle University.
Because of that, the tension continued to escalate, with one great play or one mistake likely deciding the victor.
That great play came from Shae Holmes, a freshman Washington defender who had not scored a goal all season. That changed suddenly in the 56th minute when she raced to the ball and unleashed a shot from about 25 yards left of the goal.
